Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have meditation experience to join?

No. The retreat is beginner-friendly. You’ll be guided step-by-step through gentle Qigong-based meditation practices that are accessible even if you’ve never meditated before.

What’s the difference between Qigong Meditation and traditional meditation?

Qigong Meditation integrates breath, slow movement, and inner awareness. Unlike sitting meditation, it helps calm the mind through the body — making it ideal for people who struggle with stillness.

Will we meditate in silence for long periods?

Not necessarily. Practices include movement, breathwork, and guided meditations. There is silence, but also gentle transitions and group sessions that support your process.

What should I bring or prepare for the retreat?

Comfortable clothing, a curious mind, and an open heart. We’ll provide the rest — safe spaces, guidance, nature, and nourishing food.

Is this retreat religious or spiritual?

The retreat is rooted in ancient Eastern practices, but it’s not tied to any religion. The focus is on presence, energy, and reconnecting with yourself — whatever your background or beliefs.

I have trouble calming my mind. Will this work for me?

Yes. That’s exactly why we teach Qigong Meditation. The gentle movements help release mental tension and bring awareness back to the breath and body, even for restless minds.

Where does the retreat take place?

In a peaceful location surrounded by nature in Costa Rica. The environment supports stillness, healing, and reconnection.
